24 Vulnerable Families Receive Food Commodities in Sar-e-Pul

The Tawhidabad Community Development Council (CDC) in the center of Sar-e-Pul province has contributed food assistance worth AFN 70,000 at no cost to 24 impoverished and vulnerable families through the Grain Banks Initiative established under the Citizens’ Charter National Priority Program of the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD/CCNPP).

The relief package for each family included food and non-food items e.g. rice, cooking oil, soap and clothes provided through the program’s Social Inclusion Grant (SIG) intervention and CDC contribution as Internal Mobilized Food by community.

It is worth mentioning that the MRRD/CCNPP grain banks’ activities have recently further increased in Afghanistan’s rural communities due to pandemic outbreak of coronavirus leaving most of people jobless. 

The Citizens’ Charter is working with the CDCs to establish Grain Banks in villages by encouraging better-off households to donate to very poor households during the lean season and help mitigate seasonal hunger.

The Citizens’ Charter carries a detailed well-being/poverty analysis in each community to identify and target the most vulnerable households, including women headed households, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and households headed by people with disabilities.
